The Souths’ Deck — In 1980, this was the deck the Souths built. They later added a roof for shade.

Living Room — Judy South often rearranged the furniture in her 2000-square-foot living room.

Music Room — Family and visitors enjoyed both the sounds and sights of this room.

Changes — The Kelseys eventually filled the garden with concrete. They replaced the old, outdoor carpeting and turned the patio into an attractive game room.

Indoor Garden — Its 1000 square feet included a pond and a banana tree that actually bloomed and bore fruit in 1984.
